Cyclones hockey game #12.

We went to our 12th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…

It was Pucks N Pups night. There were whole bunch of dogs at the game.

The Cyclones went down 0-2 early in the first period…

And at the end of the first, they were down 0-3…

At the first intermission, there were wiener dog races…

It was also $1 hot dog night…

There were dogs at US Bank Arena looking for forever homes. This pup stole my heart…

The ‘Clones pulled one back 1-3…

And that’s the way the score stayed at the end of two…

The Cyclones pulled back another goal to make it 2-3, and then pulled their goalie…

But the game would end 2-3. And this one belongs to the Quad City Mallards…

Oh well. Win or lose, the Cyclones games are always a bunch of fun. 🙂

St. Patrick’s Day parade.

One of many fun parts of living in our building is that for the last few years the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade route was literally right outside our front door as it marched down Sycamore Street and weaved through downtown Cincinnati. It’s pretty cool to walk outside and have a parade right there. We weren’t sure what route the parade took last year because we were in Arizona for Spring Training but we thought it wouldn’t be any different than 2014 or 2013, especially when we looked outside and saw people tailgating at 10:45 in the morning…

So we threw on some green and started to head out…

It turns out that this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade route was down in The Banks. So we grabbed Oscar and walked down to there to watch this year’s parade…

This year the parade celebrated its 50th anniversary…

My favorite part of the St. Patrick’s Day parade is always the bagpipers…

It started to get really warm so started to head for home…

If you’ve seen one St. Patrick’s Day parade, you’ve kind of seen them all. But they’re still pretty fun to go watch. Even if you just go to see the bagpipers like me. 🙂
